Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Cornerbacks
We’re getting close to the end of our roster preview series. Today, we’re going to tackle the Green Bay Packers’ cornerback room, a lightning rod for Packers fans. If you want to read any of our previous installments before we take you through every single cornerback on Green Bay’s 91-man roster, though, here are our […]
Matthew Golden is not doomed to be a bust
Sigh. There are a bunch of people who didn’t like Matthew Golden right out of college. You can find them online, but here’s one. And in the Green Bay Packers’ section of this year’s FTN Almanac written (You should buy it, it’s great!) by Bryan Knowles, Golden is a featured player. The preview as a […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Plenty of reasons to believe in Packers receivers
The Packers’ offseason renovation of their wide receiver position could be seen as a repudiation of their previous approach. For years, they’ve gone with a version of the “no number one receivers” offense, and the results have been fair to middling, diminished by injuries at the position and an at times fractured offense overall. But […]
The Packers’ linebacker situation is weird
Linebacker is the weirdest position on the Packers right now. It hasn’t quite arrived, but isn’t quite in transition either. It seems like the Packers have been trying to solve a problem there for most of a decade and haven’t quite landed on a solution. And for that matter, the answer to whatever question they’re […]
Packers’ Edgerrin Cooper named top-10 linebacker by ESPN
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has been running his annual top-10 series this month, where he asks executives, coaches, scouts and analysts who the best players at each position are. On Tuesday, he dropped his list of linebackers, which featured Green Bay Packer Edggerin Cooper as the 9th overall player on the list. Here’s how the full […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Who won the Packers’ offseason?
I feel like I’ve spent most of the offseason complaining about the way people have talked about the Packers’ offseason. Most NFL media seems to be fixated on the idea that the Packers had a bad offseason because they lost some players they weren’t going to use anyway, disregarding the fact that no Packers fan […]
Packers Discussion: How do you feel about the Isaiah McDuffie deal?
The Green Bay Packers officially announced on Monday that the team had extended linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a one-year contract that will keep McDuffie on the roster through the 2027 season. Last year, McDuffie served as the team’s “starting” Sam linebacker and as the Packers’ special teams captain. McDuffie should continue to contribute as a […]
Green Bay Packers News: Jordan Love still can’t get no respect
NFL media love to drum up discussion and controversy in the summer. With nothing to actually do between the end of minicamp and the start of training camp — which is fast approaching in just over two weeks — the league has to create attention for itself somehow. Enter the annual NFL Top 100 list, […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025 Postscript: Good riddance!
Now that our top plays are in the books, I’d like to offer one final coda to our look back at last season. 2025 was really dumb. I wrote in the conclusion to our top play of 2025 that everything after Keisean Nixon’s interception capped off the Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 14 […]
Reading the tea leaves for the Packers’ 2026 offense
I spend so much of the offseason looking backwards at the previous season, but this time of year, my thoughts start drifting to the next season. What lessons did we learn from last season that could give us clues for this season, both from the Green Bay Packers and a leaguewide perspective? I’ve had all […]
Friday Cheese Curds: Why the Packers have reason to believe their offensive line will be better in 2026
The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line has become a popular offseason target for skeptics. One recent article highlighted the unit as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks, noting that several national analysts rank the Packers’ offensive line near the bottom third of the NFL after the departures of Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins. Makes […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #1: Keisean Nixon calls game
Keisean Nixon provokes a lot of mixed feelings in people. Okay, not super mixed. A lot of people, if not most, are pretty down on Nixon as the Packers’ top cornerback. But it’s not all bad, and last season Nixon gave us one of the most memorable images of the century-long Packers/Bears rivalry. Here’s our […]
Wisconsin, Notre Dame drop new uniforms for Lambeau Field matchup
There will be a game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6th, but it won’t involve the Green Bay Packers. While the Packers will have that week “off” between the preseason and regular season, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will travel to Green Bay for a Labor Day weekend matchup to kick off their respective seasons […]
Green Bay Packers News: Are critics of Love’s supporting cast wrong about the Packers?
In a recent write up for SI, Bill Huber asked whether Jordan Love can capitalize on his supporting cast. It’s an interesting question because so much of the national conversation assumes Green Bay’s offense has gotten worse. Has it? Let’s walk through just a few examples. The Packers lost productivity in the receiver room. This […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #2: Matthew Golden finally scores his first TD
As a longtime Matthew Golden believer, I made it a priority to specifically request that I write about the first-round pick’s first career touchdown. This play from the Green Bay Packers’ Wild Card game comes in at number two on APC’s countdown of the best plays from last season. The Game The NFC Wild Card […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Linebackers
The Green Bay Packers’ linebacker room is a little light right now, as the team only has seven bodies on its 91-man roster for a position that is expected to have five players make the 53-man roster. Next up in our roster preview, we’re going to take a look at every single off-ball linebacker on […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Micah Parsons is good
Hey everyone, Micah Parsons is good. Periodically, it seems people need a reminder and ESPN was happy to oblige, ranking Parsons as the second-best edge rusher in the NFL in our first link below. Normally I wouldn’t go through so much trouble to point out just one article, but I think this one is worthy […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #3: Micah Parsons’ first sack as a Green Bay Packer
We travel all the way back to Week 1 as we continue through our list of the Green Bay Packers’ top plays from the 2025 season. What you’re about to see is what I like to call “the moment I felt like everything would be okay”. The Game After surprising everyone by making the 2024 […]
ESPN ranks the Green Bay Packers’ roster 10th in the NFL
Three ESPN writers got together to rank the best lineups in the NFL, as it stands in July. While the Green Bay Packers didn’t top the list, they did rank in the top third of the league, according to the World Wide Leader’s experts. The two big questions on the Packers’ depth chart right now […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #4: Tucker Kraft answers Jordan Love’s prayer
Our countdown of the 10 best plays of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season continues with a pivotal play in the Packers’ eventual comeback victory in Pittsburgh. To watch the play, please click here. The Game The Packers entered the game in good shape with a 4-1-1 record and as healthy as they would be […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers position battles on tap
Position battles are both real and not real. They’re real in the sense that players are actually going to spend time jockeying for position on the depth chart, earning or losing playing time based on their performance in practice and throughout however many preseason games the Packers actually play this year. But I always push […]
An introduction to Jonathan Gannon’s defensive philosophy and scheme
The Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator search began when Jeff Hafley, who coordinated the defense for two seasons, joined the Miami Dolphins as the head coach in January. At the time, sources reported the Packers had agreed to terms with Gannon on January 25, 2026, and the hire was officially announced on February 2nd, with […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #5: Watson elevates to take a late lead vs the Giants
Our countdown of the 10 best plays of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season continues with a go-ahead touchdown to help the team earn a victory on the road. The Game The Green Bay Packers came out of their Week 5 bye week by reeling off a three-game winning streak, defeating the Bengals, Cardinals and […]
Green Bay Packers News: Bottoms up for Evan Williams
It was a big weekend for Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams. The young man who shares a name with a longstanding American whiskey brand had a big 4th of July weekend, as some big personal news for him came to light over the holiday. Williams is now engaged, having announced the big news on […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #6: Christian Watson takes a slant to the house
The first week of APC’s top plays of 2025 countdown concludes with a look at play number six, which came in a crucial late-season divisional matchup. The Game After finishing off their season sweep of the Lions the week before (in an impressive showing on Thanksgiving), the Packers faced the Bears for their first showdown […]
